In June 2025, a new international guideline combining AI, ocean policy, and the environment, the first of its kind in the world, was presented at the United Nations Oceanographic Conference (UNOC) in Nice, France.

Among the speakers was a delegation from the WORLD HIKARI Project, a group born in Japan and now based around the world.

「AIDEAR」を発表するMack氏

Mr. Mack presenting "AIDEAR

Mr. Mack (real name: Ryo Okubo) chairs the insurance, healthcare, pension, sustainable investment, and digital sectors of APFF (Asia-Pacific Financial Forum), a public-private collaborative platform of APEC.

At the UN Oceans Conference, he introduced the efforts of the WORLD HIKARI Project, for which he serves as an advisor to governments around the world, including Japan's pension system.

Appealing that AI and digital innovation are the keys to transition finance, Mr. Mack presented "AIDEAR," an AI developed with Rhea (co-founder of the UN Children's Summit), who is called [a miraculous 13-year-old]. From now on, "AIDEAR" will serve as a rule maker for AI development that is not driven by AI regulations.

Mr. Mack travels to more than 50 countries annually and is on the cutting edge of transition finance worldwide. The cumulative annual investment of the APFF member organizations he leads exceeds 100 trillion yen.

The WORLD HIKARI Project, for which Mack serves as global ambassador, is a global initiative that integrates AI, technology, education, culture, and international cooperation in an international financial framework that is private-sector driven but also deepens collaboration with national governments and UN agencies.

The Japanese government has announced that over 150 trillion yen in public and private investment will be required over the next 10 years for this project and its core Transition Finance (GX Investment), and Japan plans to issue 20 trillion yen in "Decarbonized Growth Economic Structure Transition Bonds (GX Economic Transition Bonds)" to provide the funds necessary to support these investments. Japan plans to issue 20 trillion yen in "GX Economic Transition Bonds" to provide the necessary funds to support these efforts.

Of particular interest is the concept of the "world's largest transition finance partnership" to be created by the WORLD HIKARI Project. Several international organizations have already requested cooperation, and the initiative will involve rule makers who set international economic policy and international law.

In doing so, Japan's public security organization and the police agencies of each country will also work closely together to address the security risks associated with the transition to a decarbonized society. The public security organs will monitor the movements of extremists and foreign powers behind the scenes, while the police will respond to environmental crimes and protests on the ground. The sharing of information and the division of roles between the two will support the creation of the WORLD HIKARI Project, the world's largest transition finance partnership, and the realization of fair and safe transition finance.
